How find expert local PC builders
Let me get my thoughts together (in print) and send them to you for an
opinion. Thanks..... "johns" wrote in message ps.com... I'm an expert builder. What are you trying to do? Also, the idea that kids know anything about building computers is nonsense. They know just enough to get you into an ASUS mobo, and nothing about ergonomics, warranty scams, price breaks, bad video cards, screaming loud DVD drives, stupid RAIDs when all you need is a large hard drive and an external USB backup drive, slow pricy LCD monitors with no modern inputs for expansion and multimedia, nothing about security and good software for that, nothing about imaging, and especially nothing about Vista. I beta tested Vista ..... DON'T DO IT :-) Go find a builder, and come back here with a list of parts he recommends, and I will debunk it for you. When you get an idea of what you want to do with a new computer, I can give you a list of parts ... and prices .. and you can go hang that under his nose, and see what he says. And then I'll debunk that for you too :-) And then I'll probably tell you which model Dell to buy, and the upgrade specs so Dell doesn't put you into a piece of crap that won't even come close to doing what they claim it will do. johns |

How find expert local PC builders
I would like to know how to find expert PC builders in my area (Rhode
Island). These builders may not be in the yellow pages - and I need someone that is *very* knowledgeable (I want cutting edge equipment and a RAID array or two). Also, I would be looking for upgradeability and a system suitable for Vista. Thanks........ |

Many of them are very computer savvy, especially the gamers. I don't use the site myself.

You will be better off buying a decent machine from DELL, HP etc. I like DELL because you can configure your own system online and they will build it for you. hth -Nisko- wrote: I would like to know how to find expert PC builders in my area (Rhode Island).

True, but they will still junk it out, partition it wrong, try to stick you with a bad video card, low ram, 2 dvd drives .. probably NEC which is noisy, and you don't need 2 of those drives. The average Joe still needs help to properly avoid the Dellsmanship. And then you can get a good machine out of them, with the OS bundled and a decent video card ... like the nVidia 6800 256 pci-e. Word is also that Dell says it is going to stop giving incentives ?? So what? Their incentives were more rip-offs and time wasters than good deals. Why should I upgrade my 15 inch LCD monitor for free? Just give me the damn 19 inch LCD monitor in the first place. DELL is eventually going to tick off their customers with downgrades and pricy upgrades just like Gateway did, and we will just sit here and watch them rot. johns |

DELL will not ship what most would consider "standard" or "understood." IE. Someone with a good printer with a parallel interface will be out of luck UNLESS they are savy enough to specifically order it. DELL motherboards are quite unique. Trouble = DELL OR Norton OR free download music. All three do NOT ship a standard CD of the OS or (if you order it) Office. All three baulk at upgrading from Home to Pro or Media. BUT, I like all three because I get a lot of business from people tired of talking on the phone to help and then be told "Oh you changed it" -Nisko- wrote: I would like to know how to find expert PC builders in my area (Rhode Island).
